Hi Don....Thanks for the quick reply. I was able to e-file the Federal return. But I can't e-file the NY state return due to the 401k Covid distribution issue. Turbotax said I would need to mail the return at the post office. Does this make sense? Thanks

TurboTax has worked hard with the IRS to be able to e-file form 8915-E.  Since this will require programming adjustments for both the IRS and TurboTax, it will be a few weeks before these changes are made.  If you wish to file this form, you have the following options:

1. Mail in your return now and not wait until the form is available to e-file.
2. E-file your return without the form, and then file an amended return with the form attached to it (amended returns now also can be e-filed for greater convenience).
3. Wait until the form is available in TurboTax and e-file your entire return at once.

Feel free to reach out if you have any questions on how to do this.
